We’re thrilled to bring PG Connects back to Helsinki in 2026, bringing together and celebrating the games industries of the Nordic countries: Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Iceland. Still a proud partner of Finnish Games Week, our rebranded Pocket Gamer Connects Nordics conference takes place on October 20th and 21st.

It's where Northern Europe's developers, publishers, investors - and more - connect. It’s where the global games industry comes to do business, gain local insight and find the next fresh opportunities.

Every attendee will benefit from the 22 packed conference tracks covering everything from acquisition and AI to the latest development trends, transmedia and more. As well as the online meeting platform that’s FREE to all ticket holders.
